Methodist church gets help from local Councillor |
A popular community church in Peasedown St John has received financial support to purchase a brand new hot water boiler, thanks to a Councillor.
Peasedown St John Methodist Church, which is located in the centre of the village on Bath Road, was awarded £500 from Cllr Nathan Hartley's Councillor Initiative Fund.
The church was in need of a new hot water boiler for the kitchen. As the building is used by large numbers of people each week, the purchase of a new boiler was a worth while investment.

Cabinet must reconsider schools decision |
The B&NES Council Cabinet will be forced to meet and reconsider its decision to start the process of closing Culverhay school after a crucial vote on a formal challenge last night.
The B&NES children and young people overview and scrutiny panel agreed by seven votes in favour to none against that the Cabinet should look again at the Bath secondary schools review. Panel members questioned the Cabinet member for Children's services as well as Councillors and public speakers for over three hours to determine whether the Cabinet took all the right factors into account when making their decision.
27 B&NES Councillors signed the call in request which was led by Councillor Paul Crossley.

Challenge to Bath schools decision |
The Liberal Democrat Group on Bath and North East Somerset Council has launched a challenge to the decision taken by the Conservative Cabinet to consult on the closure of Culverhay School in Bath.
The decision to go ahead with the closure was taken last week following a consultation process on reorganising secondary school provision in the city. The challenge is through a formal 'call in' of the Cabinet decision, which has been signed by 27 Councillors and must now be heard at an Overview and Scrutiny panel meeting within 14 working days.
Councillor Paul Crossley is the leader of the Liberal Democrat opposition Group on B&NES Council and will be the 'lead member' of the call in.
